Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics

TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.

Genistein, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine-specific protein kinases.

TL;DR: Genistein inhibited the EGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine level in A431 cells and scarcely inhibited the enzyme activities of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinases, and the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzymeprotein kinase C.
